January 1, Alleged Mass Shooter Identified as Black Lives Matter Supporter Who Wore Women’s Clothes

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1777: Independent Vermont introduces a new constitution, prohibiting slavery.

In a shocking revelation, the gunman allegedly behind the brutal killing of five men and wounding of two children in Philadelphia on Monday has been identified as a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement.

40-year-old Kimbrady Carriker, who was armed with a rifle, pistol, extra magazines, a police scanner and wore a bulletproof vest during the incident, was apprehended shortly after the violence unfolded in the city’s Kingsessing neighborhood.

His Facebook activity reveals a person deeply aligned with Black Lives Matter, even sharing his support for workers who took part in the Strike For Black Lives in July 2020.

On his Facebook page, Carriker also posted pictures of himself clad in a bra, a women’s top, and earrings, with his hair braided long in March, just three months before the alleged shooting.

His social media also features several gun-related posts, including pictures and memes of people brandishing firearms.

One of the more disturbing details from Monday’s incident involves Carriker’s alleged pursuit of a man whom he killed inside a home after fatally shooting four others on the street.

Two children, aged two and thirteen, suffered gunshot wounds to their legs during the harrowing event.

Carriker, who labeled himself as a computer engineer, had even posted images of children firing rifles.

In a May 2020 post, he shared a video of a vandalized and burning Philadelphia police car, adorned with the acronym “ACAB,” which stands for “All Coppers Are Bastards.”

Carriker captioned it with a provocative question, “I was there; where were you? #we matter.” Whether he filmed the video himself remains unclear.

The suspect, who reportedly did not have any previous connection to the victims, was taken into custody without incident.

Tina Rosette, Carriker’s former roommate, expressed shock upon learning of his involvement in the shooting, admitting she was unaware that he owned a gun.

She described Carriker as “really smart, intelligent, creative” with a passion for computers.

However, she also acknowledged his “aggressive approach to some things in life.”

Carriker’s history reveals a prior arrest in 2003, where he was charged with possession of a weapon without a license, carrying a firearm in public, and drug possession.

He pleaded guilty to owning a firearm without a license, leading to three years’ probation and over $1,000 in costs.
